Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten v AB Storstockholms Lokaltrafik

When personal data are collected through a body camera worn by public-transport ticket inspectors, the information to be given to the data subjects is governed by Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, not Article 14.

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited v Bundesverband der Verbraucherzentralen und Verbraucherverbände - Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband e.V.

The condition in Article 80(2) that an authorised entity must claim that a data subject's GDPR rights were infringed 'as a result of the processing' is satisfied where the entity alleges that the infringement occurred in the course of processing personal data and resulted from the controller's failure to provide, at the latest when the data were collected, the information required by the first sentence of Article 12(1) and Article 13(1)(c) and (e), in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. That includes information on the purposes of the processing and the recipients of the data.
